I work at a car dealership, my job is to clean the loaner cars. The smell of some of the customers has been driving me nuts, I thought it was just bad hygiene. The smell is a mix of strong unnatural sweet, musty/rancid. I haven't been able to describe the smell till I was reading the comments on this substack and Ann's comment below posted Jan 7 described what I have smelled.

"Finally someone is talking about the smell. My partner and I are often at the beach. We noticed independently the body odor of those after the first booster (everybody smelt the same) and then subsequent booster drives after that. The smell would be blown into our faces. We would notice it on people indoors as well. It can be so bad you had to fully air the room out after the person had left to get rid of it. I describe it as musty and rancid, my partner as sweet and unnatural kind of smell. Other unvaxxed people I have mentioned it to have not noticed this and forums only one other has confirmed they can smell it too. On Reddit post I saw said they could smell their own odor post vax under their armpit."

Hi Lanny, my partner and I notice it particularly when there is a booster drive on as there is now, with the first booster everyone smelt of it, you could be swimming in the sea and get a whiff of it from the person next to you!! Luckily less people are getting it now but older people still are. It seems only a few people can smell it as you would be one of 5 others that I have heard of that can smell it online and including my partner!! I have mentioned it in forums and got no response...

It is like an artificial fragrance. It smells like the scents they put on clothing from TJMaxx/ Kohls.
